Ceri Holland added the third after the break and Sophie Roman Haug completed the scoring in stoppage time.

Read on for Liverpoolfc.com's post-match interview with the boss…

On the game...

Delighted! The amount of chances that we've been creating and today to score four goals, could have scored more – I thought Baggaley made two or three outstanding saves. Really pleased going into the international break [with] four goals, a clean sheet and three points.

On Teagan Micah's first start in the WSL...

I thought Teagan's done really well. She had a bit of a tough start coming in, obviously being at the World Cup and coming in late. She's been patient, got her head down and worked hard. I'm delighted for her, especially with the clean sheet.

On Bonner scoring the opener...

We were due one from a corner. We've worked hard on corners and for whatever reason we've not managed to get on the end of one. But today it was great for that to happen.

On Van de Sanden's display after the birth of her baby girl...

Obviously she came back [on] Friday. She is an infectious character. What you see on the pitch is what she's like day to day. But I'm absolutely delighted for her and her family.

On Holland netting her first goal of the season after good work from Roman Haug...

I'm pleased for Ceri. I thought Sophie was outstanding today as well, with two assists for her and the goal. I was pleased she got her goal, especially at home. It was a pleasing performance all round and I'm delighted for Ceri.

On the clean sheet...

We did our best at times to maybe give them a few opportunities, especially at the back end! I'm really, really pleased with today.

On Leanne Kiernan's brilliant cameo off the bench...

Same as Wednesday. Leanne's just enjoying being back on the pitch again, enjoying training again – you can see that in her performances.
